Winning point-to-pointer Capital Pursuit was well supported on his bumper debut at Navan but couldn't go the pace and could probably do with further. FINE ARTICLE attracted good support on his racecourse debut at Fairyhouse and though unable to cope with the favourite Westhope he had the remainder well beaten and should go one better. Killer Miller is a surprise entry as he made a very promising start over hurdles at Navan three weeks ago where he was always moving well. Sub Lieutenant showed improved form to chase home Emerging Talent at Naas and would be a threat if continuing that progress.
